#26 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Sean Coleman and is located in Charter Square. The design shows Barker wearing a pelt of bark – holding a mirror to just one of the many environments in which bears live. In Barker’s case, he lives in the alpine mountain woodlands of the Italian Alps where the population of bears almost disappeared over 20 years ago.
